MLB Hot and Cold — Hottest and Coldest Players, Last 7 Days
The hottest hitter in MLB over the last 7 days is José Ramírez, at +0.3 NUT — 5-for-15 with 2 home runs and 7 RBI as Cleveland reached the ALCS. The hottest player overall is a pitcher, his teammate Gavin Williams, at +0.5. The full seven-day board is below: hottest hitters, hottest pitchers, the coldest bats and arms, and the hottest and coldest teams.
Every ranking here comes from NUT Score over a rolling 7-day window, and the live version updates daily on the Hot & Cold page. Figures below cover October 5–11. In October the seven-day window holds only postseason games, so these boards rank the players still in the bracket.
How we measure hot and cold
“Hot” usually means a gaudy batting average, and “cold” means a rough box score. The problem is that batting average misses walks, extra-base power, and the quality of the competition. NUT doesn’t. It rolls a player’s full production over the last 7 days into one number, measured against league average, on the same scale for hitters and pitchers:
Positive NUT = producing above league average (hot). Negative NUT = below average (cold).The further from zero, the hotter or colder the stretch. A hitter drawing walks and slugging doubles can rank ahead of someone hitting .330 with empty singles — because he’s actually creating more runs. That’s the whole point.
Teams work the same way: a club’s 7-day NUT is the sum of every hitter’s and pitcher’s production, so you can see which lineups and rotations are carrying a stretch and which are dragging.

Notice how the hitters aren’t just batting-average darlings — walks, power, and stolen bases all push the number up. See the full hot board →
Coldest hitters and pitchers — last 7 days
Cold isn’t an insult — it’s a signal. A slumping star is often a buy-low in fantasy, and a cold arm is worth checking before you stream it. See the full cold board →

A hot team with a cold rotation reads very differently from one riding its bats — the split tells you whether a run is likely to hold. Toggle to Teams on the Hot & Cold page →
How to use it
The Hot & Cold page ranks the last 7, 14, or 30 days with three more toggles: Players or Teams, Hitters, Pitchers, or All, and Hot or Cold. Every row shows the production behind the number, so you’re never guessing why someone’s trending.
